Share on social media

The Raiders have named their team for the round six match against the Eels at Pirtek Stadium.

Sia Soliola will miss the next 6-8 weeks with a broken arm, with the Raiders forward scheduled in to have surgery this week.

Soliola will be replaced on the Raiders interchange bench this weekend by Luke Bateman, who gets his first chance at NRL this season after some strong form for Mounties in the Intrust Super Premiership.

The addition of Bateman is the only change for the Raiders after their 22-8 Monday night win over the Bulldogs at Belmore Sports Ground.
